Welcome to the One Legacy, home of Guided Story Sharing and The Family Historian Journal!

We’re glad you stopped by! If this is your first visit, let me explain a little about us. We’re a family owned and operated business from Edwardsville IL. Our mission and purpose is to collect and share real stories from everyday people around the world. Please take a moment to read a few of our stories. We think you’ll like them. Once collected, we love to share stories with the community.

We’re excited to announce Issue #4 of The Family Historian Journal is available online and has been delivered to lobbies of hundreds of hospitals, medical centers, retirement homes, restaurants and many more businesses in the St Louis and Metro East Illinois. It took us a little longer than expected to get this one ready but we’re quite proud and think you’ll enjoy it! Special thanks to Angela Ridenour (Managing Editor) and Robert Stocker (Layout Editor) for the amazing effort and heart they put in this issue! For any questions or requests about delivery, please call us 618-960-7252 or email us at info@onelegacy.com.

As always we appreciate your feedback, and stories! The new year and winter time is a great time to reflect on the many stories out there ready to be saved for future generations, and more importantly, so many people that would be honored to be asked to share a story about their own legacy. Send us one of those stories and we’ll be happy to share. Thank you and please enjoy the newest journal!

Caregivers reported less stress and patients reported decreased breathing difficulty and increased religious meaning.
